Nope. Guess which was the first product the Germans announced they would purchase. The F-35. So the Germans will be buying an US fighter which has dial-home capability and that the US can disable remotely whenever they want to. Just like the Japanese just disabled the release of the latest Grand Tourismo to Russia's Playstation console users. The US will be able to disable German fighters. Yet the Germans are ok with this. This is not independence.
There were good reasons why France has spent so much developing their own platforms.
The Germans and French contributed to this drama by not giving Russia any security guarantees that NATO would not expand like two days before the Russians invaded. When they had 150k+ troops just sitting on the Ukrainian border. Since NATO accession of a nation requires unanimity of existing members they could have easily done this. Yet they chose not to.
The US will now fire on all directions since they think they are safe in their own continent.
The Americans have already agreed not to cross any Russian red lines and officials are being very measured in what they are saying. They were slow to realise it but now every senior government & military official in America is aware this is the Cold War 2.0.
This is not the case in Europe which is currently going buckwild and politicians are making all sorts of claims, imposing various bans on Russian civilians, seizures of assets and even openly threatening to murder Putin. I can't think of any time in the Cold War where the west was as divided as they are now. At some point America is going to have to reign in all these countries and tell them what's going to happen to them if they don't stop provoking Russia. If this war escalates to another European country, it is very likely they will be on their own, America certainly won't bail them out.
No the US will have to withdraw I think. Right now the US presence in places like Iraq is only because no one but Iran is providing weapons to the insurgents. Even then in limited amounts because Iran does not want a problem on its own border. But thanks to NATO dropping loads of ATGMs and shoulder launched missiles on Ukraine you can expect the same "favor" to be done to the US. The late General Lebed and Eugeny Primakov wanted to rearm Iraq back when the US put sanctions on them. The current Russian leadership pushed those people out and had a policy of not giving material help to Iraq while still protesting against the US intervention.
I think the Russians will now pull all stops and you will see the US disengage from the Middle East.
Biden better let them build that Keystone XL pipeline.
No doubt. Any future US intervention will not be as easy as Iraq or Afghanistan were. Not only that, I can easily foresee dissident support being given against countries that have been pissing Russia off. I wonder what the UK will do when the IRA start getting Russian support again.
The best part of it is, China doesn't have to do anything other than continuing to support Russia economically just as every other neutral country will be.
